With a new release of its business process management (BPM) software available this week, Tibco Software said it is enabling a tighter link with service oriented architecture (SOA) and delivering a more integrated user experience.
Tibco iProcess Suite 10.6 also offers improvements in role-based usability as well as more granular process monitoring. Additionally, the company improved the product's ability to manage critical business processes.
With iProcess Suite 10.6, Tibco believes it bests rival offerings from companies such as IBM and Lombardi Software. "The first [advantage] is really bringing together SOA and BPM in a unified offering," said Jeff Kristick, Tibco vice president of marketing.

"There's a real synergy between BPM and SOA," Kristick said.
Featured in version 10.6 is a suite of application modules designed to provide end-to-end process management. Tighter integration with Tibco Business Studio, for process modeling and design, gives iProcess Suite users the ability to directly deploy business processes built in Business Studio.
"This release of iProcess Suite supports direct deployment from that design environment," Tibco Business Studio, to iProcess, said Kristick. Thus, there is no longer a need to export a file to an intermediary environment -- iProcess Modeller -- before it is deployed in iProcess.
"Basically, we're phasing [iProcess Modeller] out and going with Business Studio as our single design environment," Kristick said. The iProcess Modeler product is to be discontinued by early next year.
